Naturally, this kind of post (which contains neither profanity nor hate) is bound to be attacked ad nauseum. Let the insults begin; it's fine with me, since TMZ has just lost this loyal reader anyway. Thanks, TMZ, for these two steps backward in our country's pursuit of tolerance and diversity.

Well, let me be the first to nauseate you. Tolerance and diversity have nothing to do with this freak scene. Neither does Christianity for that matter. However, there is a wealth of sexual exploitation, fraud, and statutory crime going on with these a-holes. That's okay, though, right? As long as everyone can be respected and protected so that they can to do their own thing no matter how injurious it is. With that sort of perverted logic, it's easy to see how cults get their diseased members.

66. I said I was going to stop reading TMZ, but in thinking about it longer, it's only fair to give them a chance to respond before deciding that. I'm awaiting their thoughts.

In the meantime, I will say again that my comments have nothing to do with FLDS. Therefore, all the comments about sexual exploitation, fraud and the like are not relevant for me. What I am referring to is TMZ characterizing those who homeschool, believe in God, or live in the sticks in such a negative way (in other words, lumping these groups of individuals in with the FLDS). I really don't care what anyone thinks of FLDS, and I'm certainly not going to defend them. I'd just like TMZ to remove the insinuation that if you homeschool, believe in God, and live in the sticks, you must be a crazy cult-following loon.

Maybe FLDS believes in God, maybe they live in the sticks, maybe they homeschool. This does not mean, according to rules of logic, that ALL people who do one or more of these things are then FLDS members and guilty by association. THAT is my point.

68. I don't know why I feel the need to clarify, but my mention of tolerance and diversity was not directed at FLDS. Not in the slightest. It was about the fact that these other groups (homeschoolers etc) deserve a little tolerance and should be considered as one of many groups that make our country wonderfully diverse. We don't make blanket statements about people based on the color of their skin or their country of origin; nor should we make them about people who educate their children at home or live on a farm. That's all. THOSE are the people I'd like to see us have a bit of tolerance for in the name of diversity. Clear as mud?

69. Homeschooled kids are not all like this. Most of us are perfectly normal, functional, well-dressed people.

That said, the little girl on the left is freaking me out. It's like she's staring into my soul and planning to devour it.

70. Our culture is virtually intolerant with any issue, Gruop or individual who strays from our very strict Victorian rules regarding Sex and Religion.
The Government had been trying to get these people for years and finally had to use a roose phone call to do it....and then c ouldn't get theyre kids back but under "terms andconditions" that would allow continued investigation and might free the state from liability.....rather tan allow as the supreme court determined that they had n o right and authority.
I hope they sue the living piss out of the state of Texas!
I agree that some abuse may have taken place as always happens in every organization every where, what do you want perfection? It happens in every Human organizatoin on earth!
I do thouroughly disagree with exploiting and manipulating the government services and welfare system. If you want to screw all these women then you should be able to pay for your pleasure and not me!

75. They quoted this on their website "and they did not wear costly apparel, yet they were neat and comely. Alma 1:27 " . But when you check out their affordable clothing they are charging more than the Gap and Gymboree. They charge $65.93 for overalls and $31.81 for jeans for a baby!!! I'm sorry, Wal-Mart sells more affordable clothing and if you wanted to get more affordable you could go to goodwill and get the same look they are going for.
